Unabashed. Cheap and disgusting.

Crawco's actions have gone too far—far beyond reasonable limits—in an attempt to find any pretext, no matter how trivial, to sabotage my claim. To deny that the injury constitutes an accident is an unjustifiable and shameful attempt. Whoever made that decision should feel ashamed for taking such a low approach.
Oxford: INJURY: harm done to a person’s or an animal’s body, for example in an accident.
Cambridge: INJURY: physical harm or damage to someone's body caused by an accident or an attack.

TOTAL COWBOYS, A DISGRACE!!

I have never experienced such a lack of professionalism as I have from Emily Dennison, her manager Christopher Lee and Kay Hodgson. They sat on my claim and did not send the paperwork to the jewellery assessor, I had to do it. Then Emily went off sick and kept vital jeweller contact info on her work phone and did not upload it to their system. So when the assessor did the report information was missing due to her failures. I requested call backs info requests from them all especially the manager Christopher who failed again and again. My complaint with MBNA was upheld due to Crawford’s failings and I’ve had it reopened due to the fact they simply are not bothered!! They don’t care, in particular this trio!!!! The insurance companies need to NOT instruct such losers and cowboys and use competent companies. I’m taking this to the financial ombudsman as I’m fuming. Emily, who went off on annual leave as soon as she was back from sick leave, is still asking for information when I have given her everything!!!! This is disgraceful and a farce. I’m taking this further. They are a joke!

Not fit for purpose

The subsidence claim for my property started in July 2018. The (fourth) contractor has been appointed but no work can start until the party wall letters are issued to my neighbours. Crawford confirmed that these were being drafted on 19 June but the drafting continues.
There seems to be limited knowledge of subsidence claims and the process involved within the team who answer calls and the promised call back to update me never happen, possibly because there's never anything to update me on! It's so frustrating.
I would have awarded zero stars if I could.

Missing transfer

On August 14th, I was informed by Crawford Spain that the compensation amount had been transferred to my bank account. Upon reviewing the bank information I provided them, I discovered that a digit was missing from the SWIFT code. I immediately contacted the insurance company via email to notify them of this error. Unfortunately, I did not receive a response.

I proceeded to send several follow-up emails to highlight the issue with the incorrect SWIFT code. After not receiving any acknowledgment, I called their customer service to discuss the matter further. During the call, they sent me proof of the transfer, and it became clear that they had added letters to my SWIFT code that I had not provided.

The customer service representative I spoke with was both impolite and unprofessional. I explained the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action to retrieve the funds. However, I was told that the transfer had been completed successfully, and there were no issues flagged in their system, suggesting that the funds had reached the correct bank account.

I have since provided Crawford Spain with four separate confirmations from my bank, clearly stating that the funds have not reached my account. Despite this, they have taken no further action to resolve the issue. When I last spoke with them, the representative raised their voice at me, insisting I needed to be patient.

As of today, the funds have not been credited to my account, nor have they been returned to the insurance company, according to their statements. Given the circumstances, I am unsure how to proceed. Additionally, I have been unable to find any clear information on how to submit a formal complaint to Crawford Spain.

Absolutely terrible!

Absolutely terrible!!
Residential Line was our point of contact ref Insurance..
Then we were passed to Brit UK PROPERTY LTD TO DEAL WITH CLAIM?
Then passed to CPAdjusters, Then when i called past from pillar to post, no one ever calls back or emails. Everyone, is pleading ignorance to the claim, At one point i was told the claim has been closed!!!!!computers down, on holiday not received reports, always an excuse. So called Loss adjuster personally (Luckily i kept his number)
and he had sent report 2 days after original meeting with him in June? He then resent report and photos again yesterday 3rd Sept 2024. Can't wait to see what the outcome is going to be or what excuse is going to be used next. NOT feeling positive at all.

Worst company ever and I’ve dealt with a few…

Why on earth is a reputable company like Nationwide Building society dealing with such an unprofessional useless company. So far my claim has gone on for over a year coming up to two. And all I’ve had done is a whole dug and my patio trashed. I’ve contacted everyone from Crawford to the people they sub contact and all are as bad as each other. The ombudsman is my next step and back to Nationwide to inform them. Please if you are recommended to Crawford’s by any one or insurance don’t let them take on the work just insist on someone else.Save yourself a lot of grief.

Absolutely useless

Have been waiting for a report to be sent to insurance broker relating to a claim on a building I have a property in. Even though my flat is no where near the affected area I need this report.
Have waited almost six weeks for it and still nothing.
Thanks to Crawford I have now lost my buyer due to their utter incompetence at providing the needed information

AVOID!

AVOID!! I would give no stars if possible. This is the worst company I have ever had to deal with -
We have a relatively small claim but we are STILL WAITING for our claim to be resolved after 6 YEARS!!! We have complained to no avail. Crawford & Co contradict themselves and are incapable of answering the most simple of questions and take months to even respond!!!! They can't retain staff and I have had so many case handlers I've lost count. The whole experience to date has been awful!!!

These guys are super unprofessional and useless

These guys are super unprofessional. They come out to survey but have no clue about the job they have come to survey. They sent out a surveyor who was utterly useless. He came out with a tiny spirit level to check the levels of a patio and when quizzed turned around and said I'm not a builder lol. What a joke. Never use this company you're better off throwing your money in the bin.

Unbelievably slow and poor!!!

Unbelievably slow! In addition, their communication is non-existent. I have currently been waiting for a claim against a housing developer who drilled through my wall, twelve times, for 6 months so far!
